Paris On Top As Director Defends Her & Schrager Has Nothing Against Her
THE busty blond starlet who called Paris Hilton a lousy actress has an ax to grind, says the director of Hilton's new direct-to-video comedy.
As we reported this week, Simona Fusco, who dances topless in "Bottoms Up," said Hilton showed up late on the set and hadn't memorized her lines. But filmmaker Erik MacArthur told us the hotel heiress not only was perfectly competent, but has star quality. "I think Simona is trying to take down the movie," MacArthur added. While he won't speculate on the Italian starlet's motives, MacArthur admitted having a fling with Fusco and giving her just one line to speak: "Last one in is a rotten egg!"
Meanwhile, Ian Schrager, the owner of the Gramercy Park Hotel, explained to Page Six why Paris is not welcome at the hotel's Rose Bar. "I have absolutely nothing personal against Paris Hilton - in fact I've never even met her. We're just trying to do something different here."
